Moonwalker Cafe

Stopped by on a visit to the city and you can’t go wrong. Menu is super diverse with gluten-free and vegan options and everything was amazing!! They’re really dedicated to making sure their gluten-free options were more than just simple substitutions which is definitely a rare sight.

Really wanted to love this place, since it’s one of the only gluten free certified restaurants in the area, and they have pretty good food. After ordering a $20 breakfast sandwich through the app, it said they would text when the order was ready. I never got the text, and they don’t have a phone number to call. The last time I got food from here, it took about 20 mins of me waiting in the lobby for the food after ordering at the counter, so I had assumed it was just taking a while. After an hour with no text, I decided to just show up for my cold $20 sandwich. I walked in at about 2:40 (they close at 3) and every employee was staring at me uncomfortably, clearly they were waiting on me to close early and I had ruined their day? I told them I didn’t get a text, and what I assume to be the owner said “oh well I texted you…sorry our systems have been weird all day” like he didn’t have my phone number, or couldn’t have just called me at that point if he knew that. Super disappointed about the lack of accountability, or ownership for mistakes/just bad business. They just let me walk away with a backwards apology and cold, overpriced sandwich in my hand. I will not be back.

I get the urge to leave a 5 star review for this amazing spot every time i eat their breakfast sandwich (yeah, they’re that good) and that’s pretty frequently. I live in the neighborhood and while my husband can eat anything, i’m a gluten free vegetarian. It’s tough having dietary restrictions, but I never miss out at Moonwalker. I love that they have so many amazing gf and vegetarian friendly options for me, but amazing options for him, too, including frequently changing specials. Their gluten free bun is insanely good (like i truly cannot believe it’s gluten free!!!!!) and every ingredient is so fresh, extremely flavorful (i always get multiple aiolis) and made fresh. They make as much as possible in house, and I’ve never once had a bad item from their menu. I personally like to place an order for pickup, because it’s always ready SO fast and waiting for me when i get there. I also think their lattes are AMAZING. the banana bread latte specifically is a religious experience. Moonwalker is a little pricy, which is the ONLY reason I don’t get a breakfast sandwich and a latte there every single day. It’s about $30 for a breakfast sandwich and a latte plus tip, which is kind of a lot for takeout, but to me it’s totallyyy worth it for the AMAZING quality, fresh and delicious ingredients, and wonderful service. You get what you pay for and they’re worth every penny. They are an amazing local spot and I am so happy to have them in the neighborhood- they’re truly the best. I hope they’re here forever and ever and that they develop some kind of reward program so i can eat more breakfast sandwiches and lattes even when they’re not in the budget 😂
